Payden Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 "There is a story about the Greek Gods. They were bored, so they invented human beings, but they were still bored, so they invented love. Then they weren't bored any longer, so they decided to try love for themselves. And finally they invented laughter, so they could stand it." Just thought that was appropriate. That's awesome. Yes I see truth in that quote and maybe that is why I tend to act stupid or funny all the time lol..trying to keep that love thing tolerable. Laughter is good for any occasion though and we all need to keep laughing. Sometimes when yo uhave a break-up, yo uneed to go outside,get naked and yell... "F*ck you world!" then go inside and have a milkshake or something. lmao. Ok I'm going offline.... I'm getting all googly-brained.

pureinheart Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I think to some extent or other we all act like someone we are not (this phenomenon is magnified on the internet due to the anonymity that it affords us). Our personalities are largely built upon a reflection of the external images of ourselves that are given to us by others., and it is natural that we would try and manipulate their perspectives to allow them to see us favourably so that we can then see ourselves favourably. For many, this "front" comes to define them, and therefore living closely with another allows the other to begin to see through, this then is perceived as a threat to our identity and creates the vast majority of conflict within relationships (whether or not another rationalisation has been nurtured to protect from the threat that true self awareness poses to identity, or not). Wow, this about somes it up....excellent definition
pureinheart Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I'll try to give a good definition, although the replies that you have received are excellent....so this is just my take.... Via the internet is a good way to hide ones true self, although it does come out eventually. Most are defined by their exeriences and are lacking much if many of their experiences were negative. Some heal from bad experiences and some don't. The ones that don't lack maturity and that is very easy to spot in mind games, button pushing and vindictiveness, they have a need to retaliate...it is really sad. Now I've seen some show their true colors and once they have come out a healing process can begin, although only if they let it.
pureinheart Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 For me, I hide certain things for certain reasons....in thinking wanted to add this....we all do, it is basically human nature....I don't want everyone knowing all of my business. I believe there is a time and place for everything....although for the mostpart, I am who I am and say what I want, I don't care what others think of me, at times I get irritated when I am lied about, but that lasts about 10 min or so...lol Some people have to hide who they are because the inside is so ugly and sometimes can borderline on sick behavior...they have to be right and validated...now don't get me wrong, it is very important to be validated, although let's face it, life is life and in very few instances do we get validation concerning a wrong done to us....but no, these types that hide who they really are go to great lengths. It can get very scary as they "project" their anger on others that could resemble the person that hurt them....it can go to great extremes.

maliks32 Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 One of two things is happening when you start dating. Both parties are on their best behavior, both not allowing the other not to see their less than desirable qualities. And the second is that we are swept up in the newness of the relationship and we tend to ignore the tiny cracks in the other persons armor.
Eve Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I think being too open, especially about past relationships can destroy potential new relationships and so some level of guarding oneself is healthy. Without this, I think people can remain vulnerable and easily manipulated in new settings. So, I look mainy for how people explain past encounters within friendships and intimate relationships more than anything else. So, yes, the honeymoon period may be 3 - 6 months but really people carry with them an internalised script that is not hard to decipher if one truly listens. Being aware of my own script enabled me to filter more carefully who and what I was attracting. Whether you are happy with what you find is a whole other area.. Take care, Eve xx
